The Dependent Pension Bill falled II
the House, in the attempt to pass it ovel
the Presidents veto. The vote was, yeas
IT'S, nays 1875 The Republicans all voted
for the passage of the bill. This may be
considered as an ending of this bill. The
whole thing should never have been
brought before the public. 1t was evi-
IDENTIFY used Il scheme by the Democrats
to gain little popularity with the sol
dier element of politics. 1t is to be hoped
that the next bill of this kind-or rather
with the same intent--will be knocked in
the head before it gets out of the hands
of the committee. If the congressman
want the special regard of the soldiers, let
them pass practical. common-sense pen
sion law, which will not raise an endless
conflict of opinions, and which will be a
help to the old soldiers.
1.-THE third party cranks in motion, and
their heads be protruding at various places
in the State The information at hand is that this
tivity is being encouraged by ambitious members of
the ohio delegation at Washington, who hope to lead
the Democratic ticket next fall. Com. GGz.
Well, why are the third party cranks in
motion? Let us look at the situation

Republicans. Why are the third party fel
lows making stir, and why do we begin
the annual cautioning of these friends
friends against aiding the Democratic
party? Simply that such campaigning as
that of the Commercial Gazette and its
fellows in the name of the Republican
party, has been gradually driving the
most aotive and earnaSt worknrs ont of
the party. Only this, and nothing more.
The whole aim has evidently been to Gre
ate the impression that the State of Ohio
was owned bodily by gang of bloated
whisky and beer bummers in Cincinnati.
In this the paper has been quite success
full. There is a sad "give-away" however
on the part of these disciples of Gambri-
nus in the matter of the Dow Law.
Recognizing the demand for some kind
of effective temperance legislation, we
gave the Prohibitionists and temperance
Republicans the Dow Law, and said to
the third party people, Here, now, is all
that you can ask in the way of temper
ance legislation. Here is feature for
prohibition, what more can you ask? If
you demand more than this, you are dis
turbers and unreasonable cranks." So the
temperance men, including nearly all of
the third party prohibitionists, quietly
said, "Well, if we cannot do any better,
just for the present, we will accept the
benefit of the Dow Law, but will make
this condition: If you are in earnest IN
giving us this chance to do away with
the liquor traffic, just enlarge upon the
provisions sufficiently to pronibit it by
counties, or at least by townships" Now
comes the funny point, When the mere
suggestion of this improvement in our
much-boasted law is made, every beer
jerker, every hummer, in Cincinnati, fol-
lowing at the heels of the Commercial
Gazette. howls vigorously and persistent
ly that the law must be let alone. This
places us upon record, as the case stands
in the light of being party of tricksters,
attempting to deceive people who see
through our trickery even before it is
consummated. Do act with little COM
mon sense, friends.
